Can I wash my hair by toothbrush? 24 days post hair transplant.

It is best to contact your doctor about post operative care and instructions since each doctor has a different regimen.You should not be washing your hair with a tooth brush.  Tooth brush is for teeth.

It is very unlikely but not impossible to damage grafts three weeks after surgery.  It is also unusual to have scabs persist that long.  I would suggest a visit to your surgeon to have a thorough hair/scalp cleansing.  If you live a long distance from your surgeon and this is not feasible, you could try placing a wet washcloth on your head for about 20 minutes twice a day before washing to help loosen the scalps.  Check with your surgeon before doing more aggressive.

The recipient area requires daily washes as well to keep the recipient area free of crusts. I generally recommend the use of a sponge and supply my patient with a surgical sponge to fill with soapy water and press on the recipient area daily. By repeating this daily, all crusts can be washed off without any fear of losing grafts. IF any crust are present, use a Q tip and dip it into soapy water, and roll it on the crusts and that will lift them off without dislodging them, but never rub them, just roll the Q tip on the recipient crust. I like to see no evidence of any crusting in the recipient area and the crusts from the donor area gone in 7-10 days with daily washing,.A toothbrush may be a bit harsh
